[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1139837, member: 97843"] Just read this thread for the first time...made me lol a bit. As much as I love my G4(check my sig) I will never invest money to make it "fast," when I can get a much better system for that kind of money. With that said, If I ever do find a couple of hundred bucks on the ground...I might consider picking up a used one on ebay. But for the money, you gotta REALLY love building up old computers. I love doing it too, but simply swapping out a processor isn't automatically going to make your old g4 work close to as fast as you are used to working on your other faster macs/computers. That 133mhz is r..e..a..l..l..y slow on computer. It's like getting a v8 engine with an exhaust pipe the width of a slushy straw! Check out some youtube videos of the sonnet upgrades. Have you ever considered looking for a faster G4? PS: I love my C-Blue G5. I'll break someone's arms if they touch it:D [/QUOTE]
